Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment
For B-BBEE to work consistently, visible and clearer direction is needed. BEE initiatives to date have been characterised by:
- Lack of understanding leading to inconsistent application and appreciation of B-BBEE principles.
- Lack of clarity resulting in delays in the implementation of B- BBEE initiatives.
- Disparity in Charter definitions and targets between various sectors of the economy.
- Lack of implementation guidelines.
- Lack of underlying economic substance to many BEE transactions.
- Focus on narrow based BEE leading to a narrow base of beneficiaries.
